A man who used to live in a caravan can now convert all of the adjoining stables into a home in Gower, following the intervention of a planning inspector.
Robert McCulloch thought he would get planning permission from Swansea Council after a favourable response at an early stage in the planning process.
But when he submitted a detailed planning application, the council turned it down. Mr McCulloch appealed, and the refusal decision has been overturned. He can now also claim costs against the authority.
